Situated on Exning Road, Saddlers Lea offers a collection of 55 characterful properties in an enviable location, less than two miles from the centre of the market town which provides excellent commuter links to Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds and the coast.
The first properties to be released are a collection of three-bedroom semi-detached and four-bedroom detached properties, priced from £429,950. Each home is well-designed, with attention to detail and a high specification throughout. The light and spacious interiors will meet the demands of a range of purchasers, from first time buyers and downsizers to growing families.
Cala will also be opening the doors to two thoughtfully-designed showhomes during its launch weekend, the four-bedroom detached ‘Nessvale’ and three-storey ‘Oatvale’, offering house hunters an insight into the high-quality homes at the development.
Glenn Copper, sales and marketing director for Cala Homes North Home Counties, said: "We are delighted to be bringing high quality new homes to the bustling market town of Newmarket. The homes here will offer something for everyone, with a good range of amenities on the doorstep and convenient transport links to Cambridge, providing the opportunity for house hunters to get more for their money outside the city.
“We’d urge buyers to book an appointment to attend our showhome launch on the 5 and 6 December to find out more about the homes available, as well as the exclusive incentives on offer – including a £1,000 John Lewis voucher for those who reserve a home before the end of January.”
Cala Homes is offering a number of schemes to help get home buyers moving to Saddlers Lea.
For those with a property to sell, Cala offers its part exchange service, which means there is no need to go through the process of selling on the open market. The housebuilder acts as a cash buyer, saving on estate agents fees and providing peace of mind that your sale will complete ready for you to move into your new home.
Cala also has an Assisted Move scheme, which can help make the process of selling an existing home as smooth as possible. Following independent valuations, Cala will advise on the list price of the house and appoint a selling agent on the purchaser’s behalf to achieve a sale in a timescale that will allow them to move into their new home. Cala will also pay the selling agent’s fees, home buyer report costs (where applicable) and contribute £1,000 toward removal fees.
Some of the properties will also be available to purchase on the Help to Buy scheme, however interested purchasers will only have until 15 December to reserve and qualify for Help to Buy at Saddlers Lea. As it currently stands, the scheme is available to first time buyers and those looking to move up the property ladder who only have a deposit of 5% to put down on new build homes. The government lends purchasers 20% of the property price, meaning you only need a mortgage for the remaining 75%.
The present scheme offers an equity loan on new build homes up to £600,000. However, the changes will see the maximum value of properties homebuyers can purchase subject to new regional price caps, with prices in the East of England being lowered to £407,400 and only applicable to first time buyers.
Glenn continues: “We’ve already had a high volume of enquiries for the homes here, following our off-plan preview event earlier this month and the release of our first homes, and we’re now looking forward to officially launching the development and showhomes to the public. With the Stamp Duty Holiday expiring in March 2021 and the deadline to reserve a home on the current Help to Buy scheme ending on 15 December, there really is no better time to purchase a home at Saddlers Lea.”
A short distance from the bustling town of Newmarket and surrounded by stunning countryside, Saddlers Lea is a relaxed retreat where you can enjoy the best of both worlds. As well as its horse racing heritage, the market town benefits from a thriving community with a range of local amenities including high street retail shops, boutique stores, restaurants and leisure facilities, including health clubs, a swimming pool and golf club.
An ideal choice for commuters, Newmarket benefits from a regular train service to Cambridge in approximately 22 minutes. The town also lies close to the A14 dual carriageway which links to the M11 into London.
Newmarket offers the perfect opportunity for growing families seeking better value homes outside of Cambridge with quality schooling nearby. Saddlers Lea is surrounded by a number of Ofsted-rated ‘Good’ primary and secondary schools, including Exning Primary school, Laureate Community Academy and Paddocks Primary School, as well as Newmarket Academy and Soham College.
The launch event at Saddlers Lea will be by appointment-only, with strict COVID-secure measures in place to offer peace of mind when you visit. For further information or to book your appointment, call 01638 779241 or visit our Saddlers Lea development page.
